Kult- tuurisesti ja toiminnallisesti sekä historiallisesti Keski-Pohjanmaan maakunta ulottuu ruotsin- kieliseltä rannikolta Kalajokilaaksoon. Koska Kalajokilaakso ja Pietarsaaren seutukunta esiin- tyvät muiden maakuntien liittojen tilastokatsauksissa, kunnittaisia tietoja on esitetty vain niistä kunnista, jotka ovat myös Keski-Pohjanmaan liiton jäseniä. Tilastokatsaus sisältää pääosin kunnittaista tilastotietoa, jota on summattu edelleen Kaustisen ja Kokkolan seutukuntien ja Keski-Pohjanmaan liiton alueen toimintaa kuvaaviksi luvuiksi. Koska Haapajärvi on liittynyt Keski-Pohjanmaan liiton jäseneksi vuonna 2001, se on otettu mukaan tähän tilastokatsaukseen ja Haapajärveä koskevat luvut on summattu Keski-Pohjan- maan liiton alueeseen. Tämän vuoksi liiton aluetta koskevia lukuja ei voi verrata aiemmissa tilastokatsauksissa julkaistuihin lukuihin. Julkaisuun on kerätty uusimpia saatavissa olevia tilastotietoja. Tilastojen erilaisen valmistu- misajankohdan vuoksi kaikkien aihealueiden tiedot eivät ole samalta vuodelta. Tilastokatsaus on tällä kerralla julkaistu pelkästään verkkojulkaisuna. Julkaisua saa vapaasti tulostaa

Yleissuunnitelmassa on määritelty suojavyöhykkeiden perustamisen tarpeelli- suus kyseisten kuntien osalta Lestijoen sekä Lestijärven rantapelloille. Toholammin alueelle vastaava yleissuunnitelma on tehty kesällä 2009. Yleissuunnittelualue käytiin aluksi läpi karttojen avulla, jonka jälkeen peltojen suojavyöhyketarpeet kartoitettiin maastossa kulkien rantapeltolohkot läpi. Suojavyöhykkeiden yleissuunnitelman tavoitteena on välittää tietoa viljelijöille vesiensuojelutarpeista sekä toimia ohjeistuksena elinkeino-, liikenne- ja ympäristökeskuksille kohdennettaessa maatalouden ympäristötuen erityistuen varoja. ELY-keskukset käyttävät apuna yleissuunnitelmissa määriteltyjä alu- eellisia suojavyöhyketarpeita arvioidessaan erityistuen myöntämisperusteita ja kohdistaessaan varoja vesiensuojelua, luonnon monimuotoisuutta ja maiseman huomiointia parhaiten edistäviin kohteisiin. Lisäksi yleissuunnitelma antaa suuntaviivat tilakohtaisille suunnitelmille. Yleissuunnitelman suojavyöhy- ketarpeet eivät

Besides other award schemes at international level, the EPSA is the first pan-European platform and network of excellence that is open to all public sector organisations, regardless of their size or type or the cultural sphere in which they operate. EPSA addresses the most pressing public needs and concerns in Europe. Fifteen European countries and the European Commission - to whom we are most grateful - have shared this idea right from the beginning and have supported this initiative financially and institutionally, as well as by disseminating the EPSA information and conditions for application among their administrations. The number of eligible projects that were finally received and are now presented here in this catalogue demonstrate a sound result in making the many valuable experiences in European public administrations transparent, known to the public and usable.
